gusandgloria,thanks for yur post and i understand what you are saying, but all my children have been brought up with birds,budgies,cockateils and now african grey. our yonger child is 4,and wouldnt be left unattended around any bird! big or small my children are never left alone around any birds,as we all know,children can be a bit clumsy,and birds can also be nippy,and it doesnt matter if you had the bird for years,one little fright could cause it to nip,so when my birds are out,im sat with the birds and kids.But i do understand what you are saying.

scary stuff this teflon,i read all the boxes now! from hair dryers to pots n pans, the stuffs everywhere!!

hello knight05,nice to meet you,and hope to see some nice pictures of you baby soon

how true,i bought bernie a toy from our local pet store,cost me a lot of cash,and he had it down and destroid within the day! Makes me laugh,i buy Bernie parrot toys and there expensive,he has it done before the weeks out, then i buy my wee boy a new game and he does the same! i give my boy hard time 2,telling him that was dear to buy these things, lol he says mummy you dont tell Bernie off!! after reading on here i went up the loft and brought down a pile of my childrens toys,bernie loves them,and the kids love to play with them and bernie. so bernie happy and the kids,and i got some extra cash.lol

hi.i also read some place that a CAG had died instantly,and it was due to there owner drying there cag of with a hairdryer!! the element inside the hairdryer was coated in teflon and the high heat caused the fumes to kill the poor baby instantly:( i use a baby soft towel for Bernie,

hello Terri and nice to meet you.

hello i know im late with this reply to this post,lol but hey better late than never. Yous are so lucky,id love that on my doorstep,it must be sad to watch them fly away though.Great photos,my little girl loves birds and loved your pictures.

:lol: :lol: Bernie has got a new word!! one that made me laugh,the house was all still,the kids and hubby all out,im in the kitchen making myself a cup of tea,when all i heard was a shout coming from the sitting room,Mummy!! i thought for a moment that it was my wee girl,and ran into the room saying what is it? :silly:when he saw me he said mummy.im am soooooo chuffed,almost like the feeling you get when your son or daughter start talking and say there first word :woohoo: oh i love this little guy.x <br><br>Post edited by: wendy75, at: 2008/03/18 23:02

hi charliesmum.nice to meet ya

ok thank you judy,

hi everybody,i am looking for some advice,i am looking for some first hand info on parrotlets.i have my heart set on one,but would like to hear from some of you that have 1, I already have a CAG called Bernie he will be 2 this year and very much my birdie baby,i also have children.Any info would be great and may help me make my mind up. thankyou

so clever arnt they;)

we all love to hear our birds talking to us,and we all sit and wait for the day that he/she gives us the rush of pride when they say it to you. So i thought it would be nice to see what all the birds are talking about all around the world,so what new words or sayings has you bird chatting? Bernies new saying is "wheres the birdies" and "big trouble" he says wheres the birdies for my wee girl stands and asks him this when he is beside her at the window,he even does it in her tone :silly: and big trouble is when he goes to nip me,i just say big trouble and he stops,lol good birdie,

bonny scotland,home to the great haggis & whiskey:blink: our famous Forth Railway bridge and forth road bridge,rolling hills and glens.oh and rain wind and more rain:unsure: Casper i love Yorkshire pudding yummmm

hannah_rae lovely story,i treat my bernie like a baby 2,the kids laugh when i wipe his little beak after he has ate something messy. Ratioalreasonz,i felt the same way, its a lot o cash for a bird,but sadly i lost my mum and then thought what the heck,lifes to short,and just done it,lol and ive never looked back.Also think that animals soften people,and well thats not a bad thing is it.

hello everyone,We all know these birds can make us laugh and smile or even put a spring in our step just thinking of them,But has anybody ever been so pleased with there little friend its moved them or near moved them to tears? I would love to hear thoses moments,so come share a great story., i will start it off. i have been trying to train bernie to shake my hand,and say how do you do.For 2 weeks now,and really thought i was nt getting no where,but kept going cause we both enjoyed the play around,but the other day he done it,flew over to where i was sat and walked over and said how do u do! not only that but lifted his ikkle foot for me to shake:woohoo: i was so proud of him (and myself) i had tears in my eyes.:silly: so my lesson from him was never give in,keep going,

hiya,i have a african grey also,although ive had him since a baby,ive had him 2years this year.But i still enjoy all the learning we do togather,infact my hubby was saying to me lastnight he needs to get a featherd outfit so i can pay him some attention:woohoo:

:) aww thank you mommafawkes. i have enjoyed reading all about these lovely places.(want to move house now) lol i mean country.B) Post edited by: wendy75, at: 2008/03/05 20:00<br><br>Post edited by: wendy75, at: 2008/03/05 20:01

lol joe,ronda477 nice story,we dont fight about ££ either strangly enough,with having 5 kids. We normaly talk things out,we cant fight,as he starts smiling,or i grin,and its all over with;) our ups and downs over the years are just the silly normal things couples come across over the years of being together.Its nice to hear our kids say when i grow up i want to be as happy as you mummy,That just lets us know we must be doing somthing right somewhere;)

:woohoo: while playing with bernie today he gave me such a surprise.i have been teaching him to shake hands:) and when he does i shake his foot and say how do you do?,so while on the floor with bernie today he out of the blue lifted his little foot and said how do you do!:woohoo: i was so chuffed i could of cryed.:silly: my little gentleman!

B) wow disco diva,cute swinging away there:) nice video.

we still have our fall outs dont get me wrong:unsure: but hey i guess we just love the making up:kiss: my thought is..if something is good and u love it then dont give up on it just give it your all. or was i thinkig of my bird there?:whistle: lol
